Bear Down Baffa

I don’t really know what happened with the Bear’s game on Sunday night because I didn’t watch.  Instead, I did what normal people do on Sunday:  things that bring joy and fulfillment to their lives.  And so I cursed Nagy’s name, kicked an old lady in the shin, and told a child that Santa isn’t real (trust me, that kid will thank me later).  As for Mitchell Trubisky, he may be one of the nicest guys on the planet, but he’s definitely on Santa’s naughty list this year.  And so the jury is officially in on the Trubisky v. Mahomes debate.  Surprise!  GM Ryan “I Rebuild At A Snail’s” Pace traded up for the wrong guy.  Is it too late for Nancy Pelosi to impeach Pace for Christmas?

Even Stevie Wonder can see that Mahomes was the better pick

If before this game I had told you that the Bears would gain 123 more yards than the Pack, kick 2 more FGs, punt 3 fewer times, have 2 WRs gain over 115 yards, and that A-A-Ron Rodgers would throw more incompletions than completions, after a fit of laughter, you would’ve called your bookie and put money on the Bears.  And you would’ve been dumb NOT to.  But as has been the case this entire season, it didn’t work out quite how it was supposed to.  And so the jury is in on Adrian “4 Years And $36M” Amos, who fled first class to GB this off-season:  he’s the smartest guy in the NFL right now, laughing all the way from the bank to the playoffs.  And no, I’m not the least bit fucking bitter.  But fuck him, and fuck the 2019 fucking Bears!

Playoff teams don’t give guys with the ball THIS much space

There’s nothing like waiting until the halfway point of your season to start playing.  But that’s just what the Bears did this year, putting themselves in a 3-5 hole before they even got going.  Since then, though, they’ve managed to win 4 out of 5, keeping their season alive for at least another week.  And while they didn’t gain any ground in the playoff hunt, they did beat their first veteran starting QB in months, and they did it on the offensive side of the ball.  But because they waited so long to show up, none of it even matters if they don’t finish strong, like bull.  And get some help from other teams.  And maybe get some calls to go their way.  And a couple-two-tree opponent injuries.  And some luck.  Lots and lots of luck.

Is that mofo smiling for the camera MID-PLAY?!

This season is confusing.  The Bears started by winning 3 of our first 4 games, then we lost 4 straight, and now we just won 3 out of 4 again.  And we’re back to right where we started, .500, for the 1st time since Oct.  But don’t get ready, or go to any trouble.  All we did is beat a backup QB, a rookie QB, and a backup rookie QB (we haven’t beaten a starter since Sept).  But we are doing all we can to get back in the mix.  And it continues tomorrow (Thurs) when we host Dallas for our 3rd game in 12 days.  Which is why this post is so late.  Also, we had to wait to see if MIN would lose to SEA on Monday night to know if it’d even be worth posting this week.  As it turns out, it was.

Lion defender (#25):  “There he goes, right there.  That’s
the QB who’s worse than all 3 QBs we’ve started this year.”
